Toledo Athletics, in partnership with Sylvania-based Venture Visionary Partners, is proud to announce the launch of the Venture Courtside Club, a bold new premium experience in Savage Arena that redefines what it means to be courtside at a college basketball game.
Set to debut this season, the Venture Courtside Club offers fans an unmatched blend of proximity, luxury and access. Located adjacent to the new team tunnel entrance, this exclusive space allows members to experience the team's pregame energy up close - including direct interaction with players and coaches as they take the court.
"The Venture Courtside Club reimagines what's possible in Savage Arena," said Bryan B. Blair, vice president for intercollegiate athletics and director of athletics. "We've transformed an existing area into a premium environment that brings our supporters closer to the action and captures the energy that makes Rocket Basketball so special. This cutting-edge experience fuels momentum for our program, creating one of the nicest premium experiences in college basketball while showing our fans and partners what the future of Toledo Athletics can and will be.
"Thank you to Craig Findley and Venture Visionary Partners for helping us create a front-row invitation into the heart of Rocket Basketball - a space where our most passionate supporters can feel the pulse of the program and help fuel the championship standard we've set on the court."
The Venture Courtside Club is designed for those who want more than just a great view - they want to be immersed in the moment. Courtside seat holders will now enjoy:
• All-inclusive food, beer, wine and seltzer;
• Unparalleled access to the team tunnel and entrance experience;
• A vibrant, high-energy atmosphere steps from the court; and
• A curated social space for leaders, innovators and Rocket loyalists.
The launch of the Venture Courtside Club reflects more than just a new way to experience Rocket Basketball - it also highlights a shared commitment to student-athlete development. As part of this partnership, Venture Visionary Partners will support financial literacy initiatives for Rocket men's basketball student-athletes, helping them gain the tools they need to build strong financial futures.
"At Venture Visionary Partners, we're committed to creating experiences that bring people together in powerful ways," said Craig Findley, chairman and chief executive officer of Venture Visionary Partners. "The Venture Courtside Club is about more than basketball - it's about connection, energy and elevating the way our community comes together around the Rockets. Just as important, this partnership reflects our passion for helping student-athletes build strong futures, with financial literacy and education as a core part of that mission."
With limited inventory available, the club offers a rare opportunity to be part of one of the most dynamic courtside environments in the country. Whether you're a longtime supporter or a new fan looking for a next-level experience, the Venture Courtside Club offers a unique way to engage with Rocket Basketball like never before.
